A psalm that became a deep prayer. When Moses said those words, he was far away..in the wildernesss. He felt in his eighty years of age that he was not the same man as he was in Egypt. Once he was someone...now he felt he was no one. When he says..Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom...he was praying for his people...the people he missed.

It is a psalm where Moses says....Lord, I surrender my life to you..I made so many mistakes that I feel embarrased. You know better than I...I weep at this psalm every time I read it. It is an honest prayer...from deep within. He thought his days were over but God thought otherwise...He felt an old man like him would achieve nothing but Bless God He thought otherwise.

didymos...I do not know if you live in Groningen, Eindhoven, Utrecht, Amsterdam, Leeuwarden or Nijmegen...but thanks for posting the psalm that has become my partner in lonely and difficult times. Thank you for posting it in Dutch. I can learn this beautiful language through the Bible. From Venezuela to the Netherlands...thank you.

It's unfortunate that in America the Psalms are rejected. I love the Geneva Psalter, and the Scottish 1650 Psalter.

Recently the Protestant Church in the Netherlands (PKN) adopted a new hymn book, which contains the 150 Geneva Psalms and 1016 (!) hymns. This hymnal replaces the one from 1973. However, certain churches here refuse to sing anything but the Psalms and the Cantica (from the 1773 Psalter), because only these songs are considered scriptural (directly based on the Bible). They are sung rhythmically. Some conservative denominations use an even older Psalter, namely the 1566 Datheen Psalter. In these churches the Psalms and Cantica are sung isorhytmically (all notes have the same duration).
